The load is spread out over the 26? Splines so any one spline sees very little load, but on the von side, the pulley is getting 2000 strikes per second of impact. That impact is damped by the pulley so the timing belt system doesn’t feel it.

I’m a viscous cheapskate but if I had this that far apart, I would replace it, especially since it’s hard to inspect.

That crack is probably at least 50% longer than it looks, and it’s headed for the locator pin.

Voice of reason. Replacing it is not a lot of money, compared to value of one lot of peace of mind.
